      Hi,

      i'm looking for a solution to identify the used network drivers and to change for another driver? I know how to do it in Linux and M$ but i cannot find a solution for the pfSense / FreeBSD solution.

      Can somebody help me?

      Thx and KR
      Itchy

        You can't typically change the driver for a card. The driver is detected and attaches automatically.

        The interfaces are named after the driver used, e.g. igb, em, re, bce, and so on. Checking the "ifconfig -a" output and the boot log (cat /var/log/dmesg.boot) can provide some additional info.
